New Arrivals On Our Irish Smallholding.





"It's my bed not yours."  
These two bundles of joy arrived on our farm last week.  The wife and number 2 son brought home the Border Collie and Number 1 son brought home the Jack Russell (Parson Terrier) one night.  

We talked about getting another ratter because our terrier is getting old and we didn't want a big void when she goes to doggy Heaven.  Fido will also be to train them up.  We have called them Bell and Scamp.  Don't think the terrier pup will need training up.  She's a right nowty so and so.  

This will mean another two dog licences (twenty Euros each) to buy.  I might do my Monty Python impersonation and go the post office and enquire about a licence for Domino our cat:

"I'd like a licence for my cat please."

    1. Never heard of a rat terrier Texan. Sounds like the perfect canine help around the smallholding. They will hopefully both workers. The terrier for the rats and the collie for a cattle dog. They are characters.

  2. What a couple of cuties, they are lovely. Don't even think about asking for a cat licence Dave, it might give them ideas, cats are about the only thing left that Ireland has not taxed!

    1. If a Jack Russel was an Alsatian we would be worried. They are like pocket battleships John.

  8. Both are gorgeous and will bring you lots of joy no doubt! Great that they'll both have their jobs to do while being the best of friends. We have a ten month old Jack Russell and he's a brilliant character and keeps us on our toes! We're looking at getting a border collie pup next year, hope that they'll get on well :-)

  14. Thanks Deb. The Jack Russell's are characters aren't they. I only need to make an hissing sound and shout: "rats". Our old lady terrier springs into action and goes looking for them.
